Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Carbon Reduction Methodologies

Course Overview

Our CSA-accredited ISO 14064-2 carbon reduction training course provides a clear and practical introduction to developing, managing, and validating Greenhouse Gas Emissions projects and carbon reduction initiatives. Designed for professionals in sustainability, project-based greenhouse gas projects, and organisations seeking to reduce their carbon footprint, this training ensures alignment with ISO 14064 standards, best-practice carbon management, and global climate reporting approaches.

Course Curriculum

Participants will gain hands-on expertise in GHG project accounting and carbon reduction methodologies, covering:

• Understanding ISO 14064-2 terms, definitions, principles, and general requirements
• Identifying sources, sinks, and reservoirs relevant to the project boundary
• Determining and justifying the baseline scenario
• Selecting appropriate project procedures and methodologies
• Demonstrating additionality for GHG projects
• Quantifying GHG emissions and Greenhouse Gas Emissions removals
• Managing and assessing project-level GHG data
• Documenting, validating, verifying, and reporting greenhouse gas projects for successful GHG validation and GHG verification

This practical training strengthens participants’ ability to achieve accurate GHG quantification, deliver credible emission reductions, and comply with internationally recognised carbon accounting frameworks.
